Don't go hyphen-happy in URLs, stuffing directory and file names with keyword phrases

Very true, but there's a place for some hyphens and keywords in directory and filenames if it helps you theme your pages and keep track of what individual pages are about.

For instance a (fictitious) url like www.biology-example.com/amphibians/frogs/common-frog.html makes sense and from my own experience Google should not object to it.
